<p>Another aspect is access control.<p>CLIs live in the same namespace as the agent, so any secrets the CLI needs access to, the agent can also exfiltrate. And access control is lightly gated by the agent's tool call policy.<p>For an enterprise-level deployment, it becomes quickly desirable to have a centralized MCP backbone, on which each MCP is attached to. A place you can attach policies to, log activity, and reason about access control.</p>

<p>Maybe. This phenomenon of security holes being found closely to each other was also common before LLMs. People attention gets directed to a place and typically more issues are getting found.</p>

<p>This is how keychains should be designed. Never return the secret, but mint a new token, or sign a request.<p>We need this also for normal usage like development environments. Or when invoking a command on a remote server.<p>Are you going to add support for services that don't support OIDC or this going to be a known limitation?</p>

<p>One thing I miss the most when writing Markdown is this formula experience you get in Excel. Jot something down, get the result. Then link it to another block.<p>There are tools like Jupyter notebooks that have all the functionalities, but their file format isn't very readable or diffable using standard terminal tools.<p>A while back I wrote <a href="https://github.com/zimbatm/mdsh">https://github.com/zimbatm/mdsh</a> to explore the space. Voiden.md looks like a fancier version of that.</p>

<p>Since Chrome's engine is used by Edge, Opera, Brave, etc.. Probably the best move is to become a non-profit and have all those organizations chip in.<p>The main reason even Microsoft gave up and rebased their browser on top of Chrome is because of the breakneck speed at which Google introduces new standards and features to the ecosystem. Having them be forced to slow down might be a good thing for browser diversity and the future of the Internet.</p>

<p>This change would mark a turn in the language's evolution, as it would be the first implicit variable to be added to the language.<p>I'm not going to invoke the slippery slope argument, but what distinguishes Go from the pack is how explicit it is. It can make it more tedious to write, but also much easier to follow as a reader.</p>
